| Carnival in Brazil by Roderick Ross Brazil was something that I had looked forward to for quite a while. It was in my head to finally go to “Carnival” . Years of telling myself I would eventually return must have had a lot to do with my deciding to make the once in a lifetime trip to Brazil. |
| Under The Brazilian Sun by A. Brown In Rio, you must visit the beaches. There are beautiful people of all different hues on the beach all day. On my last day in Rio, there was a group of military or police men training on the beach in the morning sun. You have never seen such a lovely sight as light and dark Brazilian men exercising in the hot sun! |


| A Black Cultural Tour of Costa Rica by Dr. Evetta Borden The Costa Rican Black Culture Tour was exciting in name alone. As a Black female with an interest in biology and the rainforest I was hooked. I also had the desire to see how people of my color fared in other parts of the world. |

| Mexico- Mi Segundo Hogar by Eboni Bailey Mexico is a country so rich in dynamic cultures, decadent culinary wonders, and most importantly some of the most friendly people that I have run across as of yet. While I have been there several times, it was my most recent journey to Mexico that changed my view of her forever. |

| ¡Viva Venezuela! by Ronaldo Jiminez We landed in Caracas in January of 2005 and stayed for three weeks. I travel on business a few times a year, usually to Latin America, but this was my first trip to Venezuela and I was looking forward to it. |

| Váyanse a Guatemala! by Eboni Bailey We finally made it! Against all odds; a teacher-led strike coupled with missed flights, political unrest, and family and friends against us, it did not forecast a positive experience. Nonetheless, the trip was full of silly moments, and life-changing experiences, which have better equipped me as a world-traveler in the years to come. |
